Although the Final Cut Server client can be run on both Mac OS X and Windows computers, you may have issues with some QuickTime codecs. Several QuickTime codecs are available in either a Mac OS X or Windows version, but not both. This may lead to a situation where a media file is not recognized by the client's computer and cannot be played. For the best results, record in and encode with codecs supported by all of the operating systems on which you plan to run the Final Cut Server client. Important: If multiple users use the computer on which you are installing the Final Cut Server client, each user will have to install his or her own copy of the client. About the Java Web Start Client Files To use the Java Web Start method, you must enter a URL in a supported browser. The URL uses the format of http://hostname/FinalCutServer, where hostname is the IP address or name of the computer on which you installed Final Cut Server. After entering the URL in a supported browser and clicking the Download button, the Final Cut Server client application is downloaded to your system. Each time you open the Final Cut Server client, the server is checked to see if a newer version of the client is available. If a newer version is available, it is automatically downloaded and opened. If not, the currently downloaded client opens. 116 Chapter 8 Installing Final Cut Server Clients
